What does it mean to me to be queer these days?
The communities I know often advocate for pride.
But pride is just the flip side of shame.
Queer is an everyday reality.
By the time I tell people, I've known them long enough to recognise that they'll maintain a warm, genuine connection with me. Due to my sensitivity, this process doesn't take long.
Queer links me to thought leaders, pioneers. Queer people are ahead of the game.
Queer is also a source of pain, as when people are callous.
Everybody should aspire to be queer, at least in theory.
